I've been driving the DAF XG+ for a couple of months now, and here's my take. The cab space is impressive, offering ample storage and a comfortable sleeper. However, I found the engine brake somewhat less responsive than I expected under heavy loads. The fuel efficiency is decent for its class, reaching about 2.2 km/l during my routes. Overall, it serves well, though engine noise insulation could be improved a notch.

I've done a lot of long hauls in the DAF XF105 over the years. The biggest thing for me is that cab space. They really put some thought into the storage, which I appreciate when I've got to be out for a week or more. The fridge is decent and that little folding ladder for the top bunk is a nice touch. Headroom's alright, even for taller folks. The ride's comfy enough, probably thanks to that all-air suspension. Not much road noise in the cab either, the motor's quiet unless you're really working it. Only real gripe I have is price, even used it's not cheap, but you kinda get what you pay for in terms of comfort. Maintenance hasn't been a hassle for me, just keep up with the usual and it's reliable. Gearbox is mostly smooth, though sometimes the auto waits a bit long to upshift for my taste.

I've driven the DAF XF 105 firsthand and found its handling and cabin comfort appealing. The engine performance, especially its torque range, provides a smooth highway experience. However, the absence of a trailer brake hand mechanism in the manual version requires added care. The cab space offers excellent storage, which is practical for long hauls. Overall, a reliable choice with some areas for improvement.

I’ve been running a ‘18 XF with the MX-13 paired to the TraXon twelve-speed auto. Shifting is smooth, and cruise control takes off a bit of that highway fatigue. It gets decent mpg since they overhauled the turbo and EGR, I guess. Maintenance hasn’t been anything terrible, but I had to swap a sensor once, which wasn’t cheap. Cab is decently roomy, but I kinda wish the seats had a wider range of adjustments. Still, not cramped. Wouldn’t mind a bit less noise from the engine at speed. All around, steady ride and does what I need it to do.

So I got to drive the XF with the MX-13, 530 horses. Pulls nice, plenty of torque even at low revs so you’re not downshifting all the time. ZF TraXon automatic is smooth, no complaints there. The engine brake is more powerful compared to old XF, helps when coming down hills loaded. Nothing to blow your mind about the interior, but it’s roomy and the seat doesn’t give you back pain after a long trip. Multimedia is full of settings I don’t even use. Fuel use is lower, which is good, but the truck’s not cheap up front. Not sure about long term reliability yet, only done around 20k km. Overall, not perfect, but does what I need and keeps me less tired after a shift.

I'm currently driving the DAF XF 480 FT 2019. The impressions are good. In practice, I have confirmed that the manufacturer is not lying. It consumes less fuel than previous generations. You can save about 10 percent on fuel compared to the DAF FT XF 105.460.

There are many pluses, it's hard to name them all. Comfortable. Quite economical. Large cabin. Among the disadvantages - when carrying 15 tons, you won't get more than 40 on the ascent.

I drive a DAF XF 480 EURO 6 2019. A driver with a lot of experience, I have something to compare it to - I prefer DAF over MAN - it smoothly overcomes road bumps. The machine is very comfortable for the driver - it has a refrigerator, satellite navigation, plenty of space for things. Not very convenient that there is no armrest on the left - it is uncomfortable to rest my hand on the door.

I've been driving the DAF XF 105 ATe edition for a few months now. The fuel efficiency is something I noticed right away; it genuinely stands out. Handling is smooth, particularly on long hauls. The interior cabin space is decent, albeit slightly constrained for those longer trips. However, the layout of the controls is intuitive. Overall, it's balanced for its purpose, but some features might need refinement for day-to-day practical use.

The DAF XF 105 offers a solid driving experience. The air suspension provides a smoother ride, and the manual gearbox is durable over extended mileage. Still, earlier models had often been noted for cabin corrosion issues which were only partially resolved in later versions. But overall, the accessibility and functionality of internal components are commendable.
